LLC in Nevis – a reliable fortress for your assets
Given the trends in the classic offshore zones’ development, the choice of Nevis jurisdiction as a reliable and calm bay for any company is quite obvious for many business persons.
Nevis is an island state and part of the Federation of Saint Christopher and Nevis (or Saint Kitts and Nevis) in the Caribbean. This region is traditionally prosperous for doing business offshore. Using the experience accumulated over many years in this area, Nevis offers its customers the most optimal and profitable solutions. The proximity to such an economically successful country as the USA is also essential in Nevis services development. Many US companies are registered in this jurisdiction.
Why is Nevis so attractive to American and other entrepreneurs from around the world?
First of all, Nevis is the undisputed leader and unofficial champion in protecting its clients’ assets from other persons’ claims. The tool for protecting assets becomes very important in modern realities if we look at the increased cases of multi-million dollar fines, even for the minor violations or minimal mistakes in doing business. Creditors’ aggressive behavior may also be a reason to pay attention to this jurisdiction.

Factors to maximize the protection of your assets in Nevis:
- In this jurisdiction, only the local court decision is valid. In other words, persons who have claims against your company must prove their accusation in a local court. This, in turn, requires the involvement of local lawyers, whose services are pretty expensive.
- To file a case in a local court, the creditor will have to pay not less than USD 10,000. In addition, the risk of obtaining an unfavorable decision remains very high.
- Even if the creditor wins, they will be able to claim only the company’s dividends, etc. The main assets and your property will remain intact. Moreover, receiving payments from the company will stop within two years. After this period, you have the right to cancel the charging order.
- The creditor can sue only the company. But if one of the company members is accused of violating the law, all obligations for the loss and, accordingly, payments fall solely on them.
- There is a general trend for the plaintiffs to lose most cases and, accordingly, to pay all costs. Even the most eminent US lawyers are reasonably afraid to go to court against Nevis companies.
Another beneficial advantage of opening an LLC in Nevis is a favorable taxation system that allows to avoid double taxation. An LLC does not pay corporate income tax. Company owners distribute and pay their own income tax. And, of course, there is no tax on the income you receive from activities outside the island jurisdiction.

Opening a corporate account in the UK payment system
Payment systems are nothing more than virtual platforms to use financial services, such as savings, various types of payments, operations with cryptocurrencies, etc., and services in rapidly growing market segments, such as IT, electronic commerce, and marketing.
For a modern person, it is pretty evident that banking institutions are not the only players in the financial services market. Nowadays, payment systems are gaining a leading position more and more confidently. Many organizations actively open accounts in them to conduct their activities.
The UK payment system is registered in London and received its FCA license in 2016. Given the Latvian roots of this payment system (its creation history and the involvement of various specialists began in Latvia), it is not surprising that its offices are located both in London and Riga.
Like all banks, the payment system offers customers the broadest range of financial services but more extensive opportunities. Corporate accounts for companies registered in Nevis can be opened in EUR. And you can access your account from any place with the Internet using any suitable device (smartphone, laptop, etc.).
Current rates:
| Service | Price | Price |
| International | EU Resident | |
| Account opening | EUR 1000 | EUR 150 |
| Account closing | Free | Free |
| Transfers within the payment system | Free | Free |
| Transfers in EUR within the EEA | From EUR 45 to EUR 100 | From EUR 0.35 to EUR 100 |
| Monthly fee | EUR 100 | EUR 20 |
You can get detailed information on a corporate account in the UK payment system from our specialists.
